Industrial Engineers (IEs) optimally design, build and maintain production/operational systems for maximum possible effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. That's why today's highly globalized enterprises are hiring industrial engineers in both Industrial/Manufacturing settings, and Service-related settings such as Airlines, Transportation/ Logistics, Power Utilities, Healthcare Systems, Publishing, Amusement Parks, Space Systems, etc. If you always wanted to be an engineer, and also you are a people-oriented person, then you would want to consider being an Industrial Engineer, because industrial engineers are systems integrators, interacting with all other types of engineers and non-engineers in diverse enterprises.
The Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) Department at the University of Miami emphasizes excellence in education and research while keeping on par with the growing technology. Due to favorable relative numbers of faculty and students, individual students receive personal attention.
